    A Prime Tyson, Frazier, Liston, Foreman, Shavers have a Great chance to KO him. i'll even pick most of them to win because of that. You have to look at resumes to choose the greatest Heavyweight. and Ali is that. He showed he could beat every type of fighter.

      I'm proud to say that I was at Lewis's first fight (in London) and last (LA) but even I don't think that my fellow Hammer is the best heavyweight ever.

      That title belongs to Jack Johnson.

      Of course, it's all subjective & if you think that a Klitschko or Tunney is the best ever you have that right.

        Larry Holmes would easily beat Lennox Lewis! George Foreman would have murdered him, As would Joe Louis! Ali would put on a clinic!

            I think that Lewis would have destroyed Louis. Easily.

            I can't prove this though.

              The fools who STILL pick Tyson over Lennox

              For that matter, they pick every 'great' US HW over Lennox.

                Pretty sure Foreman said he 'wouldn't want to be the ring with Lennox'.

                  He's in the top 5 for me.

                  Regarding the "unbeatable" comment, the version of Lennox that was with Emanuel Steward and when he was on his game could beat anyone in history.

                  I don't think anyone can legitimately say he was on his game in the first Rahman fight. He was too busy porking Julia Roberts on the set of Oceans 11 instead of training.

                    1 Muhammad Ali

                    2 Joe Louis


                    No discussion on this matter

                    Then you have (in no particular order) Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, maybe Foreman and some more. Lennox Lewis ?? I don't know who is him.
